Election campaigning for the 12th general election is going to end at 8am today.
The election campaigning began with the allocation of the electoral symbols on December 18.
During time, the commission will not allow any rallies, gatherings, processions, and any type of cam-paigning.
Polling in 299 constituencies will take place from 8am to 4pm on January 7, a day after campaigning ends as the Election Commission earlier cancelled voting in Naogaon-2 following the death of a candi-date.
